Thought we’d check this place out after reading reviews. Looked like a nice peaceful spot in the woods, and with a toilet @ 8 bucks, we were sold. And it was a nice spot in the woods, with a nice clean no-flush toilet. Heads up – if you go here, be a really good driver, don’t look over the edge, pray that no one comes down while you’r... more

The downside is that it's really hard to get there with a trailer/camper. The hwy in to Shelter Cove is steep (15-18%) and curvy. Then you have 4 miles of dirt that are also steep and narrow.
